Public Health: How to Make the Invisible Visible with Katelyn Jetelina

About this episode

Dr. Katelyn Jetelina discusses how to make the value of public health visible through better storytelling and accessibility.

Public health often works behind the scenes—preventing illness, protecting communities, and generating research that too often stays hidden behind paywalls. In a world of eroding trust and rising falsehoods, Dr. Katelyn Jetelina, an epidemiologist and scientific communicator, explores how we can make the value of public health visible: by telling better stories with data, making science more accessible, and ensuring communities see themselves in the work before, during, and after crisis.
